Yeah, what a bum. Tiki lead the NFL in yards from scrimmage two of his last 3 years. That guy sucked.

2004: 2096 Yards from Scrimmage (lead NFL). 1518 yards rushing, 578 yards receiving.
2005: 2390 Yards from Scrimmage (lead NFL). 1860 yards rushing, 530 yards receiving.
2006: 2127 Yards from Scrimmage (5th, NFL). 1662 yards rushing, 465 yards receiving.

Face it, Tiki retired in the prime of his career. His 3 best years in his career were his 3 last years.

Tiki will pick up where he left off and him and his brother are gonna have fun in tampa.

**slacker00** · 03-09-11, 02:22 AM

I was curious if Tiki ever got any NFL MVP consideration during those last three years. But unfortunately for him 2004 is when Peyton broke all those records and ran away with the NFL MVP. Similarly, in 2006 LT had his career year, broke all kinds of records and ran away with the NFL MVP. In 2005, Shaun Alexander broke the single season rushing TD record, but Tiki still got some consideration:

Shaun Alexander, Seattle 19 votes
Peyton Manning, Indianapolis 13
Tom Brady, New England 10
Tiki Barber, NY Giants 6
Carson Palmer, Cincinnati 2

36 isn't that old.

**Stacocakes** · 03-09-11, 03:08 AM

Guess he must need money. Why else would he come back after being retired for four or five seasons? On another note, when he retired didn't he say he wanted to leave the game early because he wanted to get away before any serious injuries? Coming back at 36 you would think that he would be an injury waiting to happen. Still can't see this going through

**jayroy25** · 03-09-11, 03:10 AM

aint gonna happen. not 1 team would be stupid to give him a shot

**GunShard** · 03-09-11, 05:12 AM

He will be sloppy like Clinton Portis.

**slacker00** · 03-09-11, 05:16 AM

Here's a pretty good analysis by Tim Hasselbeck and Antonio Pierce who were with Tiki on the 2005 & 2006 New York Giants.

Looks like a one year contract with the Bucs for the veteran minimum is Tiki's best shot. It sounds like Tiki's play was never an issue, but his attitude in the locker room was a distraction. Maybe a new venue, a few years to reflect and his brother around as a steadying influence will help him move past his reputation and history that he had with the New York Giants.

**Scottish** · 03-09-11, 06:14 AM

36 year old running back?

Good luck with that!

**jjgold** · 03-09-11, 06:43 AM

Many he thought he was big time after football

Black mans dream with a white trophy girl and a great job on NBC

That girl basically wrecked his life

Lost his job

Lost his wife

Huge support payments he cannot even afford

He is broke, white girl going to leave him eventually also

Was it worth to get laid twice a week

and ruin your life

**PAYTON20** · 03-09-11, 08:03 AM

He's not even close to a 2nd RB in the league. Idiot games.....

**AlphaOmega** · 03-09-11, 09:14 AM

Only the Raiders pick up washed up veterans Tiki should stay retired

Raiders have McFadden and Micheal Bush. This guy needs to get the fukk out

**Wrecktangle** · 03-09-11, 09:23 AM

He needs Ronde to talk him down off the ledge.

But seriously, he was a so-so back up until the last 3-4 years of his career.

**Dax** · 03-09-11, 09:51 AM

I doubt that he's broke... He just wants to pull a Favre. I bet he just wants to send Jen Sterger some lewd picks too

No, 35 isn't old in the big scheme of life...

But it is friggin ancient when your talking about being a RB in the NFL. The only two who I can think of who were effective at that age were John Riggins and Marcus Allen. And neither one of them sat out for 4 years.

Tiki lead the Giants in rushing yards each of his last 7 seasons. Hardly a back up.

6 of those 7 seasons, he was top 10 in the NFL in all-purpose yards. Hardly so-so.

**Jakesteen** · 03-09-11, 10:30 AM

I thought it was funny when he said he started working out again and was still strong so he thought he'd play in the NFL again. COM' ON MAN!

**darren125** · 03-09-11, 10:38 AM

Antonio Pierce didn't really bother to mask his opinion about Tiki.

**tcmoody99** · 03-09-11, 01:37 PM

lol theres no way he still has it. ill stick with mcfadden thanks

**Doc JS** · 03-09-11, 02:23 PM

As Charles Barkley says, "we all think we can still play when we are sitting on the couch"..."but we can't"
.

**jjgold** · 03-09-11, 02:59 PM

Guys he is broke

He cannot even pay child support

White young intern seduced him and he fell for it and wrecked his life

What a a fukkin idiot, go get hookers and it is 500000% cheaper

**sonnyhowitzer** · 03-09-11, 03:35 PM

I'm think tiki get hurt,coming back.

**sonnyhowitzer** · 03-09-11, 03:37 PM

I think tiki well get hurt if he comes back.

Does Tiki Barber Have Anything Left In the Tank?

I hate the way that Barber disrespected Eli Manning but he reminds me of Don Mattingly. All of that great hard work and the team wins the Championship the next year... I'm rooting for him and I do think that he can still play. He was a lock for the Hall of Fame and was putting up monster numbers when he left.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

**will2survive** · 03-09-11, 05:24 PM

His numbers in his last few seasons are amazing. He hasn't taken a hit in 4 years. It's difficult for me to believe that he's lost all of his talent. I think that he can still go for 1000 yards

This is what's wrong with America.

Hypocrisy and puritanism. Why do they treat him like a priest who messed with a choir boy?
